My Wife, My Life

If you’re not interested in a “feel good” post and just want something to laugh at go here.  Otherwise, read on.

I’ll be the first to acknowledge that I’m really not that easy of a person to have a relationship with.  I’ve been called passive aggressive, prefer to not deal with impending financial issues at all or at least put them off to the last minute.  Communication?  Not so good at it.

When I first married Brightspirit we talked about how to blend our family (her 6 kids and my 2) as well as other stuff that people that are prepared to spend the rest of their lives talk about.

As the years have gone by (rather fast I may say), there’s been ups and downs and I’ve been fractious, struggled with depression and been plain old difficult and probably confusing as well.  Yet through it all she has stuck by Us asserting often that she’s in it for the long haul.

It’s really important for me to say (to everyone as well as her in person) that she has made changes to homelife and kids that are rather profound.  At the beginning of our relationship we discussed some things and I said that it’s ok with me and/or I’ll just deal with it.  As time has moved along I’ve had trouble being ok/just dealing with it.  She recognized the issues I was having and instead of letting me stew, made changes.  It probably wasn’t all that easy for her, but she did it out of love.

I’m impressed and others should be too.  I’m getting a better understanding of how couples can stay together for 40, 50, 60 or 1000 years.

Quick Note

It’s Brightspirit that’s participating in the Food Challenge.   Not me.  My contests run toward something like this.

100 Mile Challenge

For those that follow Jacque’s blog i am doing the 100 mile 5 day challenge diet which starts Monday.
As we get closer to starting i start wonder about all kinds of things like what wine is with in 100 miles, what beer? does it matter if the hops in the beer came from somewhere else.

Wheels and Deals

This has gotta be fast, I’m at work and it’s busy.

Saturday, August 15th, 10am.  Meet at The Scoop.  Bring lots of one-dollar bills and change for kid ran lemonaid stands. 

Remember, if you can’t fit it on your bike you probably don’t need it.  Then again, a person really can put a lot on their bike.

Not sure what I’m talking about?  Neither am I.  But here’s some more information.

Stuck

So I’m at the main fire station of my Fire Department and unlike my station there are 5 apparatus (trucks) here (my station has 1). Originally here to do some training it’s turned out to be a pretty busy day so I’m on standby prepared to go on calls.

While waiting, the television is on. Not having cable TV at home and as I seldom watch it elsewhere I’ve never realized how stupid it is. While it’s possible TV isn’t totally responsible for the dumbing down of people it’s very evident that it contributes (a lot).

In fact, I can feel my brain getting mushy as I type dis hear poost.

Wheels and Deals #4

I apologize for taking so long to post this.  Life sometimes gets into the way.

I really like yard saleing, and this was one of the best “shopping” days ever.  The weather was perfect and there were more people out selling stuff than you could shake a frame at.

There were 6 yard sales here within 2 blocks. A reqular Bonanza!

I may have mentioned it before but will again.  It’s an absolute blast when a bunch of bicyclists pull up at a yard sale.  We get such comments as, “Are you a gang?”  “What’s the name of your club?” and “My! All of Ya’ll are so sexy!”

Sexiness personified

On thing that made this ride so awesome was the fact that everyone scored some awesome deals.  But the winner of this  ride was Jeff.  A set of  4 oak chairs and a drawing table in the trailer.

Try *this* on an ExtraCycle

Actually the real winner was everyone.  A fun time.  15 people on a ride that took just about 3 slow multi-stopping hours.

Want to see more?  Here you go.
